Sum of the first 363 square numbers

We define square numbers as numbers that when squared will equal a whole number. Thus, the list of the first square numbers starts with 1, 4, 9, 16, and so on.

What is the sum of the first 363 square numbers, you ask? Here we will give you the formula to calculate the first 363 square numbers and then we will show you how to calculate the first 363 square numbers using the formula.

The formula to calculate the first n square numbers is displayed below:

		n(n + 1) × (2(n) + 1)
		6

To calculate the sum of the first 363 square numbers, we enter n = 363 into our formula to get this:

		363(363 + 1) × (2(363) + 1)
		6

First, calculate each section of the numerator: 363(363 + 1) equals 132132 and (2(363) + 1) equals 727. Therefore, the problem above becomes this:

		132132 × 727
		6

Next, we calculate 132132 times 727 which equals 96059964. Now our problem looks like this:

		96059964
		6

Finally, divide the numerator by the denominator to get our answer:

96059964 ÷ 6 = 16009994

There you go. The sum of the first 363 square numbers is 16009994.
